    "System" still causing 100% disk usage


    I've been having this issue for a while now, and I've asked 2 times about it, however the answers that I got didn't solve it.I already tried scanning for malware, reinstalling Windows, system restore, and that solves the issue, but then 1-2 weeks later it happens again.I'm sorry to ask again, but it's just really annoying to reinstall Windows everytime it happens. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to solve it so it doesn't happen again.Thanks

    :)

    100% disk usage and memory usage

    Hi,

    100% disk usage and memory usage can be caused by a software corruption, running application running on the background and malware or virus infection.

    For us to properly isolate the issue and provide an appropriate resolution, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Did the issue happen after installing the Fall Creators?
    • Did you receive any error messages?
    • Can you send us the screenshot of the Task Manager showing the 100% disk usage and memory usage?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    For isolation purposes, please perform a clean boot to see if the same issue will occur. Refer to this
    article for more information on how to perform a clean boot
    in Windows.

    Looking forward to your response.
